The reduction in mass and surface of antennas and scattering structures is an important task in designing electromagnetic devices. To solve this task, we present a novel algorithm based on the optimal current grid approximation for generating sparse scattering structures and evaluating their effectiveness. The main contributions of the work include analyzing the performance of the optimal current grid approximation and its modifications in generating sparse antennas, as well as demonstrating the effectiveness of the algorithm in generating sparse scattering structures using a scattering plate and corner reflectors as an example. To validate the accuracy of the algorithm, we compared the scattering properties of the obtained sparse scattering structures. The results show that the algorithm worked accurately and effectively in generating sparse scattering structures while reducing their mass and surface.
